The store would mark the Goo Goo Cluster brand's return to downtown where Howell Campbell developed the first combination candy in a copper kettle at Standard Candy, which was originally at Clark Street and First Avenue.

He traced start of efforts to find a downtown location to the brand's centennial two years ago.
